🧵 UV Help, I'm new :)

Anonymous No. 871021

Hi, I'm a noob learning about UVs and texturing.
Can someone explain what is the purpose of scaling up the UV island larger than the texture border? If parts of the UV lies outside the texture wouldn't that mean the corresponding part is textureless.
Sorry the blender general isn't available in the catalog otherwise I'd post there.

Have you tried doing it for yourself and inspecting the result?

Who said to do it. You should keep it 1:1. People used to do it to tile texture but you can do that manually in programs now.

the texture "repeats" to "fill" the empty/outside space.

You can enable "repeat image" to see how it tiles
